A dream come true - heading back to Nashville for anesthesiology residency at Vanderbilt @VUMC_Anes ! ⚓️⬇️ #Match2025

Absolutely heartbroken to hear that LF1 was involved in a serious crash today. Praying for the entire LifeFlight family and for strength and healing for the families of those affected.

Why are we still doing #CPR on traumatic arrests in the field? TCCC says otherwise. Consider pseudo-PEA, focus on IV/IO & blood, NDC, de-emphasize airway. Is there a disconnect between military & civilian, or is this a “we’ve always done it this way” scenario? #NAEMSP2025

Presenting @NewOrleansEMS / @TraumaTulane data at the Society for Airway Management conference with TC Byrne

Should we consider an X-CAB approach in trauma patients?

1. Resuscitate with blood before you intubate —> prevents intubation and improves in-hospital mortality

[Sean M. Bloos, MD, MPH @smbloos]

2. Induction agents decrease SVR and cause myocardial depression—> increased risk for cardiac arrest

3. Initiation of PPV —> decreased venous return to right heart —> further increases risk for arrest

@SydneyCaputo @TulaneMedicine Absolute rockstar!

[Michael Hofkamp, MD, FASA @HofkampMichael]

I submitted program-specific personal statements in #Match2004 and it stood out b/c not many were doing it then. It’s an absolute arms race right now for anesthesiology residency slots - if you aren’t doing it, you are behind the curve. #Match2025

[Will Ferguson M.D. @EMSdocFerg]

This !! You cannot "RSI" your trauma patient in shock without blood to resuscitate them .. people will die ..start with blood , passive O2 , then move to the "cool airway stuff" @bhamfirerescue @ALFireCollege @ALFireChiefs @UABEMResidents @UABTrauma @emresidents @EmsUab @UABEmergencyMed

@francisdeng Are you suggesting to combine the position and organization? (ie, President of the ___ Interest Group)

@olsonplanner @HofkampMichael Thanks Tyler!

EMS Educators: I love this study & if you teach EMS, you should know about it!

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the most critical conditions we manage. Survival varies widely across agencies—from 1.8% to 14.8%.

What can we do to improve outcomes? #EMS #MedEd
